This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced professional looking to take on a leadership role within one of the top firms in Hawke's Bay. The role has come about through growth and while we are internally promoting staff, we need someone that can slot into this position and assist with the junior staff taking on their new roles.

About the Firm

Baker Tilly Staples Rodway is a full-service accounting and business advisory firm, recognised as a leader in New Zealand. As part of the global Baker Tilly network (a top ten international firm), we combine local expertise with global reach—supporting our clients and investing in our people.

Our culture is collaborative, flexible, and genuinely people-focused. We value integrity, community involvement, and going the extra mile—while also making sure we enjoy what we do.

About the Role

Working within our BAS team, you will:

• Manage client portfolios and deliver high-quality accounting and advisory services

• Lead, mentor, and review the work of junior and intermediate staff

• Build and maintain strong client relationships

• Ensure compliance with technical and taxation requirements

• Contribute to team performance and continuous process improvement

• Support the firm’s strategic objectives and high-service standards

This role suits someone currently at Manager level (or ready to step up) who is looking for a lateral move into a progressive, well-regarded firm.

Why Join Us?

Alongside a rewarding role, you’ll enjoy the lifestyle benefits of living in Hawke’s Bay, with the office based in Hastings. For those relocating from larger centres, this offers more affordable housing, minimal traffic, and a relaxed lifestyle—while still being close to beautiful beaches and renowned wineries.

As the firm continues to grow, there is a genuine opportunity to lead a high-performing team and become an integral part of the local community. This role offers strong career progression for someone with the drive and commercial acumen to deliver results and lead effectively.

While the firm values ambition and a strong work ethic, it also prioritises work-life balance. You can expect flexibility, including work-from-home options and adaptable hours to suit your personal commitments.

The firm offers a modern, collaborative office environment with an open-door policy and easy access to partners for support.

Benefits

• Competitive salary package

• Five weeks annual leave + birthday off

• Company mobile
